Edds signed with the Jaguars on Wednesday. |
The former Iowa standout appeared in four games for the Jets this season before being released in late-October. He'll primarily provide linebacker depth for the Jaguars and isn't likely to garner enough playing time to be considered as an IDP option in nearly any format. |

Jets signed ILB A.J. Edds and G/T Markus Zusevics. |

Patriots waived LB A.J. Edds, OG R.J. Mattes and DT Scott Vallone. |
Edds is the only notable name. A 2010 fourth-round pick of the Dolphins, Edds appeared in 11 games between the Colts and Patriots in 2011, but spent 2012 on injured reserve with a torn ACL. He's facing long odds of latching on elsewhere. |

A.J. Edds (knee) is expected to be ready for training camp. |
Edds spent all of 2012 on injured reserve and is 10 months removed from ACL surgery. A fourth-round pick in 2010, Edds will need to prove he's healthy to have a chance of winning a spot on the 53-man roster. He doesn't have any guaranteed money in the one-year, $480,000 deal he signed with the Patriots. |

Colts signed LB A.J. Edds off the Patriots' practice squad. |
Edds was drafted to play inside in the Dolphins' 3-4 defense, but projects as a strong-side backer in a 4-3 scheme like Indianapolis'. A fourth-round pick in 2010, Edds will try to earn playing time by working on special teams. |

Edds was plucked off the waiver wire from the Dolphins before the Pats' Week 1 showdown at Miami. As a nickel linebacker prospect and special teamer, he should garner interest as a waiver claim. |

Tue Sep 6 2011 | 17:52 | Patriots claim LB A.J. Edds from Dolphins |
Patriots claimed LB A.J. Edds off waivers from the Dolphins. |
Perhaps not so coincidentally, the two teams square off this week. The Dolphins were high on Edds as a nickel backer coming out of Iowa, but he was a luxury behind quality coverage linebackers Karlos Dansby and Kevin Burnett. |

Dolphins waived LB A.J. Edds and OL Joe Berger. |
Edds racked up 18 tackles and a sack in the preseason, and the Fins were said to be high on him coming out of Iowa as a 2010 fourth-round pick. Perhaps he lost a step after missing his first year with a torn ACL. The Dolphins will move forward with Marvin Mitchell and Austin Spitler behind starters Karlos Dansby and Kevin Burnett. Edds should generate interest on waivers. |

Mon Mar 7 2011 | 09:59 | Edds to push crowder for ILB job? |
A.J. Edds (knee surgery) is expected to push Channing Crowder for playing time at inside linebacker next season. |
Edds tore his ACL early in training camp last season. With Crowder coming off a down season, it's certainly reasonable that the two could form some kind of timeshare. Edds was projected as a nickel linebacker out of Iowa. |

Tue Aug 17 2010 | 22:24 | A.J. Edds has surgery for torn ACL |
Dolphins rookie ILB A.J. Edds, placed on injured reserve two weeks ago, underwent surgery to repair his torn right ACL on Tuesday. |
The operation was performed by Dr. James Andrews. It's believed there "wasn't damage that would trigger an elongated rehabilitation period," so Edds figures to be healthy for 2011 OTAs. His role, however, will be uncertain. |

Wed Aug 4 2010 | 21:04 | Dolphins place A.J. Edds on injured reserve |
Dolphins placed ILB A.J. Edds on injured reserve with a torn right ACL, ending his season. |
At least it happened early. Edds will be a full year recovered from his reconstructive knee surgery by the start of 2011 training camp. It remains to be seen if he'll lose speed or agility, which were calling cards for the projected nickel linebacker. Edds was the 119th overall pick in April's draft. |

Thu Jun 24 2010 | 16:43 | Dolphins sign fourth-round LB A.J. Edds |
Dolphins agreed to terms with fourth-round ILB A.J. Edds on a four-year contract. |
Edds was an outside linebacker at Iowa, but the Dolphins are moving him to the inside. He'll back up Karlos Dansby while concentrating on special teams as a rookie, but he has the size (6'4/245) and athleticism to grow into a starting role down the line. |

Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland said that fourth-round pick A.J. Edds should see time immediately on third downs. |
